Receiving VHD_BOOT_INITIALIZATION_FAILED error when trying to boot

Hey, I've been trying to install Windows 8 Consumer Preview for days now. I've followed countless tutorials on how to install it correctly and the farthest I have gotten is to to the boot screen where it says the VHD_BOOT_INITIALIZATION_FAILED error. I have searched forums for a solution but most of them keep telling me to follow another tutorial, which I have already done. If anyone can help me solve this, I will be grateful.

Please give us a little more information about what you're trying to do. That error should only be possible in a scenario which I am guessing you do not want. What I am guessing is that you just want to install Windows 8 normally and have it work.
